Re: KK when an ace flops and I get bet into
[ QUOTE ]
Ur equity is still 47.3%. Therefor folding is out of the question.

I'm NEVER folding this, unless my opponent’s the most passive player ever, but I admit it’s easy to think “that ace has me drawing to three outs, so I’d better save myself the bets that I’ll lose”.
That’s why I’m taking the calldown-approach.
But there certainly is some merit in raising.
We’re heads-up and I posted so perhaps he may assume I’m 3-betting a bit lighter which makes him cap lighter as well.
If I raise the flop, I’m basically saying “your bet doesn’t scare me”. But if I raise and I have him beat, he’ll just fold, and that’s not good…
But on the other hand if he has me beat he’ll re-raise. That’ll make me fold and saves me some big bets on the turn and river. But if he just calls (perhaps with an AQ?), then I’ll lose some more bets on the bigger streets…
Dunno, can’t say which is best against an unknown…
That does it: I’m staying with the “call when bet into and bet when checked into and fold when check-raised”-approach. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Which happens to be exactly what I did in this specific hand… [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
